happy new year

Deep breath. Ready. Set. Go.


The holidays were nearly out of control this year. Just big. And fast. Many parties. Shopping. Decorating. Cooking. Entertaining. Laughing. Crying. No blogging.

Jessica's Christmas present to me was an evening at the Kennedy Center seeing Legally Blond. It was great!

I had to put my cat, Angel, to sleep. She was old and sick and it was so sad and so hard.

My tree is still up. I've taken six ornaments off so far. I've cooked nothing since New Years. We're still eating party food, take out, and meals I've frozen.

My glass business is about to take a turn this year. My new attitude towards the indy craft movement is "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em." So I'll be going places I've never been and I'm very excited about it. I'm very pleased to have sold so many of my pieces over the holidays. It was a surprise to me and it taught me a few good lessons.

I hope you, my blog friends, are all well and looking forward to positive changes in 2009. I think of you every day. You are always with me.

It was a little like that here, fitting too much into a little bit of time.
I'm sorry about Angel. :(
I'm glad about your glass business going different places.
I still have the two trees and many decorations still up. It'll be late January before I get it all together. And really, this is the time I almost enjoy it the most, after things have settled down and there's no pressure to shop and wrap and bake.

Happy New Year Bonnie, hope it's your most wonderful one yet. :)

Sorry about the kitty. Unfortunately, we went through that with two of our in 2008. It is hard.
Glad your business is doing well. Hope to see you soon.

Are you going to be going to glass shows this year? If so I have a good friend who goes to all of them. I'd love to hook you two up. She owns a glass store here in Seattle.

Sorry about kitty. It's really tough loosing an old friend.

Hugs & Happy New Year!
